COLLABORATIVE APPROACHES
The Model guided by digital governance adopts cooperation modes such as
"Company + Farmers" and "Government + Leading Enterprises + Cooperatives + Farmers".
At the authority level, it connects with local governments and enterprises to promote land management and
large-scale contract management of livestock and poultry farms and
the treatment of animal waste pollution.
At the cooperative level, the project company utilizes technologies for the resource utilization of livestock waste and the national agricultural resource information ledger system to support the management of large-scale farming and intensive cultivation, improving land productivity and efficiency to create a national-level ecological farm.
At the lower management level, connects with strategic resources such as grain, oil, and sugar to store, sell, and provide services.
At the
authority level:
-
Transforming arable land for mechanized large-scale farming
-
Disposing of livestock manure pollution at regional farms
At the
cooperative level:
-
Establishing project companies to leverage the advantages of government, enterprises, and cooperatives
-
Absolute controlling stake by the regional supply and marketing system's enterprises
At the lower management level:
-
Undertaking strategic resource storage, sales, and services
-
Establishing a closed-loop ecological circular economy by integrating the agricultural supply and marketing system and comprehensive environmental management
The cooperation mode of the Model is a response to the call in the 2023 Central Document to ensure stable food production and supply of important agricultural products, strengthen agricultural infrastructure construction, enhance agricultural technology and equipment support, promote high-quality rural industry development, broaden channels for increasing farmers' income, and solidly promote liveable and prosperous rural development.
It is a cooperative mode that combines the positioning of the regional strategic resources and focuses on the key areas of grain, oil, and sugar to explore an ecological circular agriculture model with the characteristics of the supply and marketing cooperatives.
Wuming Xiaogan Demonstration Base for Sugarcane Cultivation and Livestock Farming
The Wuming Xiaogan Organic Water-Fertilizer Integration Demonstration Base for Sugarcane Cultivation and Livestock Farming is located in Ganwei Town, Wuma District, Nanning City. It is a high-yield and high-quality sugarcane demonstration base of Guangxi Rural Investment Group. The sugarcane planting area in the region is approximately 1,100 acres, with four large-scale pig farms in the vicinity producing around 14,000 hogs annually and generating about 16,000 tons of manure.
Within three years of project implementation, the sugarcane yield in the demonstration base increased by over 20% compared to the controlled area. The sucrose content of sugarcane in the treated area increased by over 1.5%, reaching a yield of over 8 tons per acre. The sucrose content reached 17%, achieving the goal of producing 1 ton of sugar per acre.
Wuming Qifeng Mandarin Orange Planting and Livestock Farming Circular Project
The Wuming Qifeng Juzhoubang Mandarin Orange Planting and Livestock Farming Demonstration Base is located in Pingdeng Village, Chengxiang Town, Wuming District, Nanning City, with a mandarin orange planting area of approximately 3,000 acres.
The base utilizes the organic water-soluble microbial fertilizer produced from the waste of nearby large-scale pig farms. Throughout the growth period of mandarin oranges, the fermentation water-soluble microbial fertilizer derived from livestock and poultry waste is used, realizing agricultural green ecological benefits and economic development.
It has become the core area of the "Wuma Mandarin Orange" industrial base in Nanning National Science and Technology Park, earning the title of a four-star modern agricultural demonstration zone in the autonomous region in 2021.
It produces over 9,000 tons of high-quality fresh fruits annually, with a value exceeding 40 million RMB.
The mandarin orange yield in the demonstration base increased by over 10% compared to the controlled area, with an average fruit diameter of over 65mm and average sugar content exceeding 14 degrees.
Pingguo City Matau Town Ecological Remediation and Circular Demonstration Project
The Pingguo City Matou Town Mining Ecological Remediation and Circular Industry Demonstration Project is located in Gunian Village, Matou Town, Pingguo City, Baise.
The project covers a Camellia oil planting area of 1,000 acres. In the vicinity of Gunian Village, there are currently 48 large-scale pig farms, with an annual output of approximately 70,000 hogs.
The project addresses issues such as complex karst geological conditions, severe soil erosion, significant environmental pressures, high difficulty in reclamation, substandard soil fertility, and challenges in introducing industries.
Based on the authority’s requirements, it implements the greening and organic fertilizer import of the mining area through slope transformation, providing accumulated soil fertility for subsequent large-scale organic Camellia oil production (and related cultural and tourism industries), "dryland-to-water" projects, 5A-grade mulberry planting and silkworm rearing, and other agricultural industry introductions.
Nanning Qingxiu District Yaoshang Village Utilization of Agricultural and Forestry Waste Demonstration Project
The Nanning Qingxiu District Yaoshang Village Ecological Circulation Utilization of Agricultural and Forestry Waste Industry Demonstration Project is located in Yaoshang Village, Qingxiu District, Nanning City.
The project utilizes the most advanced synthetic biology and cell factory technology system in China, combined with the national agricultural resource information record system. It processes approximately 25-30 tons of organic waste from Nanning City and around 600 tons of slaughterhouse wastewater per day.
While promoting rural revitalization and improving the rural living environment, the project, once fully completed, will cover an area of up to 5,000 acres and have a total output value exceeding 70 million RMB.
Illustrative Examples
Currently, effective and sustainable cooperative relationships have been established with local governments, leading enterprises, and farmers in areas such as Nanning Wuma District and Qingxiu District. A record of replicable cooperative experiences and successful cases have been formed, and national-level ecological circular agriculture demonstration bases have been established.
Starting from Nanning, a sound and sustainable cooperative model will be gradually established, cultivating new agricultural operators. The Model guided with digital governance will be gradually promoted and covered throughout the entire autonomous region and then extended to the whole country.
By leveraging the new agricultural technologies, new business models, and new formats cultivated in this model, it will promote the efficiency of agricultural operations, accelerate core technological progress in agriculture, and drive green agricultural development.
